Worst I ever experienced was living in tents in Wainwright, AB in Jan '81, -52 with windchill. Had a tire on my jeep trailer break, a piece actually broke off, you could see inside but the tire wouldn't flatten it was so cold. Naphtha would barely light, had 2 tanks for the coleman stove, at 1 hr 55 mins for 2 minutes you'd put the next full tank on the stove to warm it up. you talk about peeing icicles. Anything with a motor ran 24/7, if it died or you shut it off, 3 hail marys to get it to start again.
